The Plough is a delightful, 16th-century country pub, which enjoys a quiet location set back from the main road, yet within easy reach of the main transport links. The quaint building is of a traditional, local style with very ornate, original window-panes. There is a well-maintained, private garden outside which is great for al fresco drinking and eating in the summer!!

Address: Leigh Road, Hildenborough, Nr. Tonbridge, Kent TN11 9AJ

Located directly on the B245, just a couple of miles northwest of the centre of Tonbridge

How to find the Plough pub: - If you are coming from Tonbridge, head for Hildenborough (B245). You will see Leigh & Penshurst signposted on the left hand side opposite the Flying Dutchman pub. Take this left turn (once on this road DO NOT take the first right signpost for Leigh), keep going straight ahead. Under railway bridge the road will narrow but keep going. The road can be a bit narrow and windy. There is a sharp bend to the right with another lane going straight signposted for the Powder Mills - follow the road to the right and shortly after this the Plough. The car park entrance is just before the pub.
If you're coming from north of Sevenoaks along A21, take exit off A21 for Sevenoaks and Hildenborough and head for Hildenborough (B245). You will eventually (about 2 or 3 miles down that road) see the Flying Dutchman on the left with a road off to the right signposted Leigh/Penshurst. NOTE: There is a road to the right before this one which is signposted for Leigh and Penshurst but please make sure you keep going until you see the Flying Dutchman.

This event has been arranged in conjunction with and at the request of the publican as there is some form of special motor cycle event also being hosted by The Plough Inn and we will have an opportunity to entertain! I'm sure a few of us will also want to have a wander around the cycle park too!

looking forward to this very much:thumbsup:

Hello, sorry ive got to this post so late. Its been a mad week for me with one thing and another. Anyway just a quick update on this weekend. Steve and I have been up to the track over the week, we have decided to run the track with the same layout as the 2wd meeting we had as the grass has grown back really well. However we will just simply run the track the other way to create a fresh challenge for everyone.
We have also put up a wee race control office, it looks kind of erm "home made" but hey its got windows and everything!!!! and it will look better with a lick of paint so bear with us!:lol:
So we look forward to seeing you all on sunday, lets hope we can have the same atmosphere and fun we had last time around:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheers all!
Martin

Martin,

You got any more details you can share about this bike event that is being hosted by the pub on Sunday?

bacon rolls, mmmmmmmm!!

first meeting for 6 months or more, looking forward to it. although i don't think i'm very well prepared yet!

Hi Steve, from what i can gather there are a load of bikers that went for a week long ride or month long ride i think and basically they are finnishing up at the pub and having a party bash in the evening. Im not sure what time they are arriving at the pub but i would have thought they should be drifting in throughout the afternoon.

Looking forward to it :thumbsup:

sounds awsome. will see you all in the morning ;)

Cheers for Steve and Martin for laying out a good track, thanks to Ross for a good race in the C final and great pictures.

Hello all, Steve and i just wanted to say a thank you to everyone that came yesterday. There was some fantastic racing throughout all finals and a great atmosphere, also im rather chuffed that our little shed stayed up!!:thumbsup:
We also need to say a HUGE thank you Faversham Off Car club for their support this year with the timing equipment! Cheers chaps and chapesses!! And thanks to Hannah for keeping us in check on the mic yesterday.

Steve was thinking of doing more races at Plough Raceway throughout the year as "club meetings" we do however need to try and get some idea of how many people would be interested, so if any of you like the sound of that please feel free to let us know!

Thanks again all, im off to start the clean up job on the Cat SX.

i would be interested:thumbsup:

trekkker

Sounds good to as only live 15.min away

I would be up for some club meetings there!

I would be up for it

What can I say! Great meet, good fun, and awesome racing! Thanks to the Plough Club and everyone who helped make the day excellent!

I really must extend an extra thank you to those of you who have so generously offered lots of donations in both RC materiel as well as offers of time towards our South Camden Community School creativity week project at the end of the school year. It will be AWESOME, and your contributions have been a HUGE part in making it possible!

I'm sorry I've not written back earlier, but this week's been nuts so far, as I've found out that we've got a school inspection coming up on Monday and I've been marking books like nuts - oof!! Nevertheless, having evidence of projects like this on the go is good evidence of our good practice that the inspectors like to see... (I hope!) Wish us luck!

As that's been the case, I've not been able to do a really thorough inventory of what we've got and still might need, but I'll let you all know very soon post inspection...

Again, thanks everyone! An excellent day!

Cheers,
Ty
